Release and Critical Response
Yellow Hair was released in South Korea on 26 June 1999, receiving approximately 200,000 admissions in Seoul. It was also screened at the 3rd Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival, held in July 1999.
In a review for Koreanfilm.org, Tom Giammarco considered it "unfortunate" that many people dismissed the film as "simple pornography", because "there is so much more going on... than gratuitous sex and nudity". However, he also stated, "the film fails to pull itself into the cohesive social satire it aspired to be and must settle for being a straight-forward thriller, interesting but not gripping".
